Prosecutor to hold immigration conference


PHOENIX Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas plans to hold a conference in November to examine possible solutions to Arizona's vast illegal immigration problems.

As the busiest illegal entry point along the country's porous southern border, Arizona shoulders huge health care and education costs for illegal workers and their families

Political pressure is mounting for the state to confront illegal immigration.

Thomas says the conference will be open to the public and spotlight speakers who will offer a range of views.

It's scheduled for November third through fifth in Scottsdale.
